Interesting fact

The 1 Mark Dansk coin from Denmark, issued during the reign of Christian V in 1692, features a unique design element that sets it apart from other coins of its time. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of a crowned shield with the royal coat of arms, while the reverse side features a depiction of the king himself, seated on a throne and surrounded by symbols of his power and authority. This design was meant to convey the king's status as a powerful and benevolent ruler, and it has become a distinctive feature of Danish coinage during this period.
